FRAMINGHAM, Mass. — A motorcyclist who fled a traffic stop in Revere and a driver who nearly ran over a trooper's foot in Westfield were among several people arrested by Massachusetts State Police in late October, according to a weekly activity report the agency released Saturday.

On Oct. 22, a trooper tried to pull over a motorcycle in Revere that had no recent inspection sticker, police said. The rider looked back at the trooper and sped off, running red lights and forcing several cars to swerve or stop suddenly. The trooper did not follow because of safety concerns. About an hour later another trooper spotted the motorcycle, and troopers and Winthrop police stopped it in Winthrop. The man tried to run but was caught quickly and was found to have drugs, police said. He was charged with failing to stop for police, possession of a Class B drug, negligent driving, unlicensed driving and speeding.

On Oct. 24, a trooper in Westfield stopped an Audi A6 that police said was not staying in its lane. While the trooper was asking for his license and registration, the driver drove off and nearly hit the trooper's foot, police said. Troopers did not chase him but later found him at his home, where police said he admitted fleeing because of his driving record. He was charged with failing to stop for police, reckless driving and a lane violation.

Troopers also made two drunken-driving arrests on Interstate 290. On Oct. 24, a driver reported to be weaving on the eastbound side failed to stop for police before pulling over on Interstate 495 in Bolton, where troopers saw open alcohol containers and several empty vodka bottles, police said. On Oct. 25, troopers found a car stopped in the left lane of I-290 westbound in Auburn after a witness said it had been going the wrong way; the driver failed field sobriety tests, police said. Both drivers were charged with drunken driving, second offense.

In Sturbridge on Oct. 23, a driver stopped on Interstate 90 fought with troopers and resisted arrest, police said. A search of the car turned up nearly 15 grams of suspected cocaine and crack cocaine packaged for sale, and he was charged with possession with intent to distribute and resisting arrest.

The report did not name any of the people arrested. The charges are allegations, and each defendant is presumed innocent unless proven guilty.
